An EEG, Electroencephalogram, is used to track the electrical activity of the brain through the placement of electrodes on the scalp. The EEG has no major risks associated with it. It is a very helpful tool to help assess brain function. This technology is most often used to identify the reasons behind symptoms such as:

  • Seizures
  • Tremors
  • Changes in memory
  • Confusional episodes
  • Loss of Consciousness
  • Head Trauma

An NCV, Nerve Conduction Study, is a diagnostic test commonly used to evaluate peripheral nerve function. It assesses the ability of peripheral nerves to conduct electrical impulses. The EMG is complementary to the NCV.

An EMG, Electromyography, is a technique for recording electrical impulses generated by muscle activity. The results can help further clarify certain diagnoses and determine the best treatment for various neurological disorders in the most accurate way possible.

INFUSIONS, Infusion therapy is when you receive medication through a needle or catheter, usually intravenously (IV). Some drugs can’t be taken orally because they lose their effectiveness when exposed to your digestive system. Some medications are more effective when given intravenously or may only be available in an intravenous form. Infusion therapy may be an option to optimize care. Patients have the convenience of receiving infusions in our office.

We provide expert, experienced, on-site staff to perform each of these studies and services.

Expert Neurological Care

We are committed to serving the Miami area with treatments that fit a patient’s individual needs. Every case is different, each patient is an individual different from the next. Below you’ll find some of the more common conditions we specialize in, followed by a more extensive list:

Neuropathy

When damage occurs to the nerves outside of the brain or spinal cord, termed peripheral nerves, it can often lead to weakness, numbness, and even severe pain. There are many different types of neuropathy. We’ll set up a series of tests to provide the most accurate diagnosis leading to the best treatment for your neuropathy.

Upper & Lower Back Pain

One of the most common medical symptoms people experience is cervical and lumbar pain. In order to determine the cause, an organized approach to analyzing your condition will point to the diagnosis and best treatments possible.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is caused by excessive and abnormal electrical activity in the brain and can be triggered by several different things. You may experience epileptic symptoms due to a genetic disorder or a brain injury, or it may be what is referred to as idiopathic (not identifiable at this time). Epilepsy typically can be treated with a single medication. The duration of treatment may be as short as two years. Some seizures are a transient occurrences not requiring medication. A thorough evaluation is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Dementia

Dementia is a disorder which manifests as a set of related symptoms, which usually surface when the brain is damaged by injury or disease. The symptoms involve progressive impairments in memory, thinking, and behavior, which negatively affects a person's ability to function and carry out everyday activities. Some degree of memory loss is considered normal aging. Dementia is a general term, there are various causes of dementia. The most common is Alzheimer’s disease.

Parkinson Disease

Parkinson's disease is a slowly progressive, degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system. The symptoms usually emerge slowly, such as rigidity, tremor, and imbalance, and as the disease worsens, non-motor symptoms become more common. Physical activity is as important as proper medications. Excellent outcomes derive from a comprehensive approach to care.

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is the most common demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system, in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts communication between the brain and the body. Symptoms can include anything from vision loss to coordination problems. Medications, acupuncture, physical therapy, and nutrition can all be used to help the symptoms and slow its progression.

Migraine

A migraine can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsating sensation, usually on one side of the head. It can often lead to nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks can last for hours or days, causing interference in daily activities. There are many variations of migraine phenomena. Effective treatment requires a very individualized approach.

Loss of Balance

Many older adults experience problems with balance and falling. This can be caused by certain medications, balance disorders, or other neurological conditions. Maintaining good balance as you age and learning about fall prevention can protect you from injuring yourself, allowing you stay independent and continue to carry out your daily activities.
